Hey guys!

So I have some exciting news!

I found out last night that I'm going to be transferred to Oasis Of The Seas in 3 weeks time. This is a big step up for me, and a lot more responsibility is going to be put on me - but I'm excited for this challenge.

I'll be flying out to Spain to join the ship, and then crossing back to America for the beginning of the Caribbean season.

Let me know if any of you will be on Oasis! I look forward to meeting you!

Congrats Chris, that was a fast promotion lol!

Probably why i couldnt find one before i posted here lol.

Where can i find a list of the dining/bars on Odyssey?

Booked a cruise this august.

Both my husband and i were allowed to add $100 OBC from my vegas to the booking (was with an agent).  So $200 OBC.

I think most important is to have repatriation of your Live body, for proper medical treatment.  So make sure your insurance covers that, and if ther is a cap.

Getting flown home can be like 50K.

I have bought it for $17 pp/pd for a cruise in a months time/ 

As i was buying internet anyway, and we get the Chops lunch, reserved seats and debarcation day Bfast (we are driving home so planned on leaving late) i feel it will be worth it.

Will let you know when i get back

It also has to be booked either directly with RCI or with the casino club, not with a travel agent. However, I did successfully have them apply two to my upcoming cruise. I just sent the e-mails separately for each reward, and they applied both. But I'm sure that depends on who you get reading your e-mails, I just got lucky. It was one each for myself and my husband, not 2 for me (they never allow more than one per person).

This may have been a very recent change.  I booked a cruise in August for this Nov and i used an agent and we were able to apply 2x $100 OBC to our reservations.

I guess i'll book next one onboard and apply the OBC then maybe transfer to my agent after.

Yeah, there are a lot of ships not accounted for .  I would assume Freedom will get it when it gets AMP'D

Hope they dont wait until amplification.  My cruise is before the explorer amp

There's no need for the sarcasm Matt, I'm aware of this moot point. However, I wanted people's opinion. And I wanted other people's experiences overall and possible remedies if they in fact did experience a mattress that was  uncomfortable to them (I Am Brand New To Cruising). If there's not any helpful information that you can offer, please can you refrain from posting to my comment section.

this was uncalled for.  i read your thread as i am interested in how people felt about the mattresses, but am aware everyones preferences are different.  for instance, didnt know you could get a quilted topper.

I'll be on Navigator next week. I will report back on my mattress!

 

Can you take pics of the MDR menus?

I drive by Le Havre twice every summer on the way to and fro my little gite in Brittany lol.

My formal night is going to be no2.  I think on a 7 day sailing formal no2 is day 6.

Woah nellie.  That's poor customer service.

I saw on CC that James Van Fleet (or whoever the RCI meterologist is) posted a few pics from Coco Cay, showing it pretty much intact (well t he tower, the take off pad for the Balloon etc).  Since been removed

I am sure they will have damage to some of the smaller buildings and certainly landscaping esp those new taller trees just planted.

It's why we call them them the CC police. It's as if I committed a capital crime. Nasty comments. I'm sorry but I'm not buying a soda package for a 4 year old. Now he is 6 and we are on Anthem next month and I did get him a soda package which I'm still questioning. I got it for him and my wife. I am drinking free water this cruise. I have lost 73 pounds and have up all soda and only drink water. I'm gonna bring 10 bottles of water, carry them on and then drink ship water the rest of the way. 

It's gonna be nice to cruise and not be fat! Just as a side note.

You are right not to buy a package for a child that young, it is bad for their health all that sugar.  Buy the the odd drink with dinner or lunch or share a sip.  Better for them.  Milk water or juice is fine.

Been a member of CC since 2002 and yeah gets a little rough at times.

given they are in my carry on i use bubble wrap or my spare clothing.  And a large ziplock.

I am more concerned about the local residents that work on the island and the clean up and sorting of their personal life they will have to do. This historic storm will change the northern Bahamas as we know it today. Prayers to all. 

Me too but at least they will have guaranteed employment to re set the island and then work there.  unlike those on other islands

Not sure you w ill be sailing to The bahamas though if that is a problem for you?

Generally from what we've experienced they won't post the MDR menus for the next day til later in the evening the night before. On a 7 night cruise, nights 2 and 6 are usually Formal Nights with 6 lobster night if that helps.

Happy cruising!

On a 5 night so doesnt really help- knew there wouldnt be 2x formal.  but knowing i cant know on day one is both concerning and but at least i know.  Not that it helps at this point lol.

i did book a cruise after repositioning so my fault i guess.  But havent cruised since 2004 so am rusty.  Wasnt so much moving ships back and forth from europe back then.

ok thanks.  When will we know?  Can we see the menus for each day on the ship embarcation day?  WQe will go there to book MT dining then.

Trying to figure out which night to book specialty dining. we will eat in MDR day 1/2 for sure, just trying to figure out the others.

I read your thread.  Helpful in many cases but i am on a 5 night so not sure which MDR menus i should be looking at as you were on a 9 night,.

I am sure the second formal night menu with lobster is out
 

thanks. I did look at Navigator compasses, but they didnt have recent ones.  Newest were 2017 but no menus.

thanks.

I actually quite like the look of the menu above.  Hopefully something similar for my upcoming cruise on Explorer

We are on i think the first sailing for Explorer back on t he caribbean circuit from Miami.  So wont be cruise planners or menus anywhere for that.  What ships should i look at, and where are their MDR menus posted?  Trying to plan my specialty dining.  plus show times, need to plan around those as am on my time dining for the first time.

A lot of the new palm trees are still staked and i expect they will lose some of them at a min.

Storm surge is def going to be a problem.

And I would not buy travel insurance for a cruise vacation in Hurricane season w/o one that will cover a TS or hurricane.

Sometimes airlines will allow changes w/o charge in the run up to a storm.  So keep checking with them.
